About This Course

Experimental research in molecular biology is fascinating, as it allows researchers to explore the structure, composition, interactions, and processes within cells at the molecular level. However, to carry out complex research in this field, researchers must first become familiar with basic techniques used in the wet laboratory, such as recombinant DNA technology, bacterial cell culture, plasmid isolation, genetic expression analysis, nucleic acid sequencing, immunological assays, and more. This course provides an overview of a wide range of techniques used in molecular biology, while also incorporating principles from related life science disciplines, such as genetics, cell biology, immunology, biochemistry, and biotechnology.
